As in, that you read relatively often and find interesting (even if you don't agree with the content)?

Atlas (normal)
NYT (my primary news source for the US)
Guardian (occasionally read, for international news
Vox (rarely read, but enjoyed everything I read)
New Republic (see above)
538 (good at quantitative analysis, pretty bad at qualitative #analysis)
Upworthy (follow on FB)
Everyday Feminism (come across often - come to think of it I should follow it on FB)
The Onion (lol)

Visit Jacobin, CounterPunch, DemNow semi-often.
RT, CNN, TYT occasionally. Recently quit 538 and Politico.
and I think Atlas goes without saying.

Of the ones listed:

Drudge
Infowars (mostly for entertainment, but they occasionally do good stuff)
Breitbart
Daily Caller
/pol/
Atlas
Washington Post
Christian Science Monitor (used to be one of the best)
The Atlantic
MSNBC
Fox
Bloomberg

Other: Financial Times, Telegraph, South China Morning Post

You have trash-tier sites and publications listed like Terrorist TV (PressTV), Gawker but no FT, Telegraph, or Times (of London)?

I genuinely thought I had Telegraph. The Times is under a paywall and FT's website is a disaster.

also it would be unfair to delist trash tier sources, because people still use them. Needless to say, their presence on the polls is not an endorsement.

I don't bother with 99% of this trash. I don't know. I just don't find much insight out there anymore. About the most I do is follow Nate Cohn on Twitter, but even he's very hit-or-miss.

Of the four legitimate sites/blogs on that list(US Election Atlas, r/politics, /pol/, and The Onion), I only voted for US Election Atlas and the Onion. Maybe Vox.

Drudge and RCP are fine as far as aggregators go. TAC's content and staff are garbage now but it used to be very readable.

Newsmax (eh, occasionally)
Politico
Breitbart (before Trump, I used to always be on Breitbart, but now I'm rarely on it but  I don't boycott it anymore)
Daily Caller (ugh. I'm prob gonna get it out of my social media soon. It's become utter garbage the last 1 and a half)
Vox
Townhall
Daily Beast (meh)
US Election Atlas (sane)
Redstate (Love it)
Buzzfeed (love it mainly for non-political stuff, its Politics section is pretty crappy, tbh)
Weekly Standard (anyone actually shocked that I like this source?)

WashPost (Love it)

USA Today (Not much anymore, but from like 2011-2014 I was always on it)
The Onion (literally sane)
NPR (It's grown on me a lot)
BBC (hate it, but its the best place to get intl news fast)
CNN (see BBC, but I'd say its somewhat better)

Other websites I am always on for news/sports/whatever:

The Daily Wire
Arutz Sheva (my main right-wing Israeli source)
Israel Hayom (You'd think I'd be all about a Pro-Bibi paper, but I'm not on here as much as other Israeli sources)
Times of Israel (used to be my go-to for Israeli news)
Jerusalem Post (my go-to for Israeli news)
The Jewish Daily Forward (my main left-leaning source for politics, Israel, and Jewish stuff)
JTV
The Financial Times
The National Post
NY Daily News
National Review
Haaretz (eh, not a lot since I hate it, but occasionally it has some good opinion pieces; Mainly read Moshe Arens' pieces when he releases them)

Politico, Vox and DailyBeast occasionally have good stuff but it's mostly tabloidy junk.  Their long, well-developed pieces are solid though.  I usually only read what RCP has in its aggregator.

NYT and WaPo are good for news but I don't get much else out of them.  The columns tend to not rise to a level of analysis that I'd like and I don't really enjoy the human interest or "bet you didn't know about this" filler stories they have.

I won't miss a Peggy Noonan column in WSJ.  I thoroughly enjoy 70-80% of what she writes.

I don't read Economist or Foreign Policy Mag but if people asked me I'd say I did.

I have never been glad that I read something on 538, always regret wasting my team reading empty junk, but for some reason I still impulsively visit it.

On the same note, when I have the itch for breaking news I'll impulsively type CNN in, but I'm never happy I went there.

Finally, every now and then the Weekly Standard will surprise me with a good article.  Which is more than can be said for the National Review, which these days is basically just Breitbart with a smarter-sounding name.

Of those listed, Drudge, Salon, InfoWars, Breitbart, the Caller, Wonkette, Gawker, EverydayFeminism and The Young Turks have a special place of lothing in my book for either being inflammatory clickbait, self-absorbed snark, or just flat out lying for clicks most of the time.  Drudge is literally the National Enquirer of the right-wing internet and the Daily Caller desperately wishes it was Drudge.  It's ok to have an angle, like National Review, but when you're just willfully and knowingly making the world a worse place for clicks and profit, you can go to hell.

CNN, Jacobin, Vox, The New Yorker, Atlas, /pol/, The Onion, Politifact, New Statesman, The Atlantic, and Governing.  (I missed several of these in the poll.)

The American Conservative is my favorite source from the opposing side (or at least it is when the writers aren't insane socons).

I have found him to be quite prescient regarding his political and economic commentary (having seen his archive going back to 2000 and earlier), and I think any Republican ought to take him seriously in light of his track record.  Plus, I just like listening to the guy, which perhaps is odd for someone with my views, but it is always a treat to hear him discuss his economic forecasts globally.

I'm glad you think so. Krugman is probably my favorite pundit, despite the fact that I've been disagreeing with him a lot lately. The Conscience of a Liberal has shaped my understanding on American politics, and while you'll strongly disagree with most of his points I think you might still find it a worthwhile read.

I've read excerpts of it and found it pretty fascinating.  One thing I like about Krugman is he often frames his economic philosophy as returning to America's post-WWII economic policies.  As someone who has fond feelings about that era (though more with respect to social/religious issues than economic), I find that approach far more compelling to me than appeals to left-leaning economics based on it being "new" or making "forward progress" or the like.

Josh Marshall's commentary at Talking Points Memo has been spot-on with regards to Trump, particularly the theme of "dominance politics" which explains why he gets into as many odd fights as he does. He was also one of the first people that I remember in 2013 to come to the conclusion that immigration reform was doomed.
